Need to vent!



Recommended Posts

Geez this weight loss thing can be tiresome. 2nd week in a row with zero loss...

I know we all go through this and I'm not going to give excuses - just need to vent how frustrating it can feel!!!

Yup! We know it is going to happen! We expect it to happen! But it is still a bummer when it does! I never had one of those really long stalls some people get but there were plenty of weeks when the numbers didnt change!

Between a week and six months. In fact, most people say it isn't a stall until three weeks.

if you are losing inches (clothes getting looser/new smaller sizes) then its working...clothes are the best judgement to show any loss :)

CG is right. I've been at my current weight since January and have gone down as much as two clothing sizes. Somehow the body does get smaller even if it doesn't show on the scale. In fact, the only reason I weigh myself at all is because I'm on steroids and need to watch for Water weight gain as that can indicate kidney issues.

Yes it can be frustrating, but instead of looking at the scale, try looking at your body instead. Getting slimmer in places ? Feeling better ? Clothes getting looser ? The scale is NOT always your friend, sometimes you need to look at other ways to see how well you're doing. Congratulations on your hard work so far ! Keep it up !!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
